My apologies, it was early when I replied. The process I gave is exactly the same, but choose "aggregate device" instead. Then, that second table will show input devices, not output ones, and you check the ones you want. The trick here is that your device will have as many channels as the total of the devices; a stereo mic plus a mono mic will have three channels altogether, for instance, so you will need to ensure your software can handle multiple channels like that and select the proper number i it can.
